i have completed 3 paintings based on 3 Rasas,these paintings i'm putting here are just previews,i'll definitely be putting the framed version once i complete all of them.one can join me on my facebook page "Art your Heart" ,the link to this page is here - Art Your Heart by Shashank Mishra

women as brides,start of a new journey,loads of responsibilities,expectations.i had to project that emotion,the power,sometimes that carefree attitude,happiness and the burden and fear behind a beautiful,feminine figure.

This one is not a part of the project "brides" but i followed the same style of work in making this character named "Visharpi" ,a very famous part of India's leading comic book company Raj comics's "Nagaraj " series.

it's always refreshing to make something for your own satisfaction, there are so many famous names in my mind,that's a wish list that whenever i'll get time t'll definitely make them,Mumtaj mahal was one of them,and when i read the details about her,that picture was very much clear,and the task was that i had to be a designer to make this painting,thus i started searching about the Mughal costumes ,jewelries,stones,handcrafts,music.i could actually hear the echo of empty ,specious royal castles.the enormous Harem chaos and giggles of women.The mystery, the fear,the red of blood and red of beauty in that air.!!i'm basically from lucknow and this city still has that essence somewhere in its old monuments,in some of its streets and places and people..!!

the very first time i framed my art,collected the memories of getting the print out,choosing the right frame for it.i gifted it to some of my friends and some friends on facebook requested the print out and bought it.this whole period was like a celebration and i thoroughly enjoyed and celebrated.

milk ad campaign for Cheil india,the basic idea was to create a world of all things scary,and kids are fighting bravely with their fear,be it ghost,bullies or reptiles/insects,just because they drink milk and they are strong enough to face any fear..!! it was so good to see my work on Delhi roads as hoardings /posters,they put it in kids schools and they loved it.i have videos where kids are explaining what they could see.they actually explained everything exactly how i made and the good thing is that they were genuinely inspired to drink milk regularly.This campaign was an entry for Cannes lions awards for creative ads 2015."Ads of the world" shared it on their website and facebook page(http://adsoftheworld.com/creative/shashank_mishra),(https://www.facebook.com/adsoftheworld/posts/949282355094235?hc_location=ufiso humbling to see the response.

These were actually cards(can be used as a greetings),for some popular international Days/festivals,and i had a liberty to design them my way,so i experimented,like for Christmas card,i made a steam punk santa.for president's day,i choose 16th century painting pattern (the concept shows, the very first president's army to the current army of america). Martin luther day,water color,vintage paper effects.valentine's day - i hated making this one,because i had no clue,what to make but i made because i had to..the cute one..!,and the chinese new year - loved researching about Chinese culture,the story about "nian" and dragons and "Budai".

i worked over almost 10 titles of angel stories,each title had a special angel,with some special powers and each time designing something absolutely cute and inspiring character(keeping the kids who are gonna read these book,in mind) was a sheer joy..!!
